16:40 All the cells WILL indicate the same voltage as they are connected in Parallel. Only way to measure individual voltages is to disconnect either positive or negative terminals. The end result stays the same as you were trying to get the cell voltages closer to each other which you achieved by charging in parallel. The rest is very informative for the newcomer to LiFePo4 batteries. Good video sir.

I would add 1) mention how you were careful with box cutter, 2) verify that the brass/silver = -/+ was true polarity in ALL cells, 3) I work in an area where a fire could be easily controlled, or at least reacted to. 4) drop your deep socket and watch out! short city 5) wiring for charger on the inside of terminals? asking for trouble.loose wire ,ditto. 6) "I don't see smoke. Good" Strong work

When you top balance, use #10 or larger leads from the power supply, put terminals on both ends and don’t use it the banana plugs or alligator clips. Connect the leads to the two common rail taps but at opposite ends so no path is shorter or longer than another. Not at the center as shown during balancing.

At 16:36 you are testing cells connected in parallel so you are not checking the voltage of an individual cell, rather you are checking the voltage across all the cells. The reading will be the exact same along the wires (baring a large current moving through a small wire causing a voltage drop). Also you initially set the power supply to 3.6V in the hopes of charging them to 3.65V which can't happen. I see later on that you increased the power supply voltage to 3.7V.

also the testing of the 4 feet wire on the end. he does not know what copper resistance is, or at l;east does not know the voltmeter is of high resistance, so in test it does not matter. with ballancer you will have current and so will have copper resistance that is relatively more important.
@ianworthington2324

Your remark about shortening the BMS wires is true if they are only used for measurement but not neccesarily true if they are used for cell balancing. When you measured with your meter you are only loading the battery with a 10M Ohm load so drawing 50 microamps. If the BMS is active balancing it can only read the voltage at its end of the wires and you will get some voltage drop across these wires which will be different if they are different lengths.

The parts with shipping for my 24V 200ah Battery is about 800.- plus bms and small parts all in all less then 1000.- € against some commercial resellers who wants to get 4500.- for the same setup. I also bought 2x 290 Wp Solar cell for 90.- plus a mppt 200/20 with price tracker from amazon for 130.- So all in all i can now build up a great solar system with 580Wp and 200ah Batterie for less then 1400.- against commercial seller who made me offer with minimum prize 6500 .- up to 8000.- and many weeks waiting time.

for 12v use 12+Ohms 24v - 24+Ohms 48v - 48+Ohms this type of resistance will allow only 1 amp to flow. You just need to do it once when connecting wires to inverter terminals.

At 16.24 you check the individual cell voltage of 16 cells connected in parallel (joined by 4 strand copper wire ).

If the cells are still in parallel and you measured a different voltage on one cell then you have a big problem.

I think that the the zip ties do not provide enough tension for compressing LiFePO4 cells (specs for much larger cells recommend >300 kgf). Anyway, some compression is better than no compression. Front & back plates would distribute the compression force far more evenly.
@GeekGarageDK
@GeekGarageDK 3 года назад
that cutoff would I guess be because of the cutoff settings i think your BMS came preconfigured for LiPo instead of LiFe and there is a huge cell voltage difference. LiFe is 2.5v - 3.7 where LiPo is 3v - 4.2v

Regarding the length of the balancing wires, of course when you compare the voltage at the battery terminals and when using wires (AWG24 in your example) between the battery and the Voltmeter, you won't see a difference because the Voltmeter draws almost no load. But if the BMS adjusts the voltages between battery cells with e.g. 5 Ampere, then different lengths of the balancing cables might make a difference. Because due to Ohm's law, the voltage / power loss in the cable is I*R / I*I*R, that is, the power loss increases quadratically with the current. So that the BMS senses the cell voltages under the same conditions, I would recommend not to use different cable lengths.

I know only one active balancer that could do 5 Amps, this balancer going with really thick wires. Most of the BMSs have passive balancers and only draw mA to balance cells. But you are right it's worth mentioning that equal length balancing wires could be required for some applications. Thanks.

You are correct most BMS only draw 65 MA but that will cause a voltage drop of a few MV but the BMS is measuring MV and can cause the BMS to not balance correctly if the leads are not the same length.

Ooof,.. hand tightening those nuts with that long slippery metal socket is giving me the willies! I'd definitely not trust myself to NEVER fumble that and kablooey! I think I'd have to put some insulating (and grippy) sleeve over that,.. like heat shrink tubing.

Very good thank you. Just one comment on the last part of wire lengths you may be right but the way you tried to demonstrate it is not accurate IMO due to the high voltmeter impedance it will not draw any voltage drop however that may not be the case of the BMS.

Thank you. This video has just the right amount of detail that I was looking for re: how to create my own LiFePo4 battery bank. The excellent video/audio production quality is an added bonus. New subscriber here. PS: But I'm unsubscribing if I get shocked in the process! Just joking...

I'm not electrician mate but i think the best way and proper way to measure and get the exact voltage of battery after charging it together in parallel is to remove all the connection before re measuring it,,

Am assuming if you connect 4 cells in parallel to give aprox 12v, you'd only need a bms for 4 cells as the voltage would be the same as they are connected together

Does 3.65 volts mean 100% charge and 3.4 volts will charge the cell to 80%? Or are 3.65, 3.5, or 3.4 volts the charging speed of the cell?

Ok you sir, just taught this man something new when it came to how a battery can be at 80% and another at 40% yet both can put out the same volts.

Very informative. I would say however care needs to be taken with these Aluminium case batteries. With some of them the case is connected to the -VE terminal of the cell. When the cells are stacked together if somehow the plastic wrap on the cells rubbs through it can cause a short and possibly a fire.

@leighcushing9484 Год назад
@@fraserlynn9488 Some of the cells I have seen have plastic caps that sit on top and bottom and this makes a gap (about 5mm) between the cells. This could be re-created using some type of insulator between cells.

If I want to charge this battery then does that happen through that x60 connector that goes directly to BMS? And If I want to power up some device then should I use the big end terminals on battery pack?
